Interrogations and Interviews: The John Reid Technique

Practiced worldwide, the Reid Technique® is the leading approach to interview and interrogation practices. Since 1962, hundreds of thousands of investigators have received training in the Reid Technique through Criminal Interrogation and Confessions. The updated, the abridged version of this best-seller is now available in a new edition from the experts at John E. Reid and Associates, Inc. The updated second edition of best-selling Essentials of the Reid Technique: Criminal Interrogation and Confessions teaches readers how to identify and interpret verbal and nonverbal behaviors of both deceptive and truthful people, and how to move toward obtaining solid confessions from guilty persons. The Reid Technique is built around basic psychological principles and presents interrogation as an easily understood nine-step process. Separated into two parts, What You Need to Know About Interrogation and Employing the Reid Nine Steps of Interrogation, this book will help readers understand the effective and proper way that a suspect should be interrogated and the safeguards that should be in place to ensure the integrity of the confession.

Been to the class, it is very effective. That’s why you NEVER talk to the cops without your attorney present. You never have to talk to investigators, you can assert 5th amend privilege without being in custody or simply tell them you will not speak with them. Telling a fed you know nothing about what you are being questioned about can come back to haunt you if they later can prove you did. You get charged with lying to the feds. How many people have you seen get caught in that perjury trap?

Considering this dovetails with my old profession, doing security clearance investigations, I think I’ll pick up a copy. Thanks!
Also, to Scout and the rest of the team, if you ever want to get ahold of me, respond in the comment section and I’ll find a way to get back at you all.

      He has a typo in the name. The best email provider I know of is spelled “tutanota.com”.
